Creating an Accommodation product

↑ Back to top

The WooCommerce Accommodation Bookings add-on follows the same setup as WooCommerce Bookings, except it gives you the option to create an Accommodation product.

  1. To create an Accommodation Booking Product, go to WordPress Admin > Products > Add New and add a new product using the Accommodation product type
  1. Enter general settings, such as cancellation policy and maximum length of booking
  2. Go to the Rates tab and set a standard room rate or custom rates for specified ranges of dates
  1. Go to the Availability tab and set number of rooms and other information
  1. Save

For more information about creating a Bookable product, visit the WooCommerce Bookings documentation.

Setting a Custom Availability Range

↑ Back to top

If you want to charge a different rate for a range of certain dates, months, weeks, or nights during the week, you can do so using a custom availability range.

  1. Go to the Rates tab
  2. Click Add Range and a new row will be added to the ranges list
  3. The new row will present the following options:
    • Range Type – Select the type of range you want to define
    • Starting and Ending – includes the day/night
    • Cost – the cost for this time period
  4. Save.

Note: Date-based block costs are applied to nights, not days, so both the start and end date are used to calculate special pricing.

To create a Custom Availability Range, such as weekdays only or no Sundays, see WooCommerce Bookings Availability Settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

↑ Back to top

Why do my Accommodation Products show higher prices than I defined in the dashboard?

↑ Back to top

If the prices shown on the product do not match the prices defined in the dashboard, the caching mechanism used for pricing calculation is most likely still using old information (e.g. when you updated the prices, or when changing a Bookable product to an Accommodation product).

The easiest way to make sure that your prices are correct is to save your existing accommodation product again. The save will update the cache and the price on your site will now reflect what you have defined in your dashboard.
